FROM THE DESK OF: Rabbi Lenny
There is a parasha whose title is Balak. He was a Moabite monarch who sought to bring doom on the Israelites as they approached the end of their forty-year journey from Egypt to Israel. Yet a key character, and the one that draws my interest in this portion, is a person named Balaam.
Balaam is a non-Israelite seer. He knew God through divine revelation and his own knowledge of divine names and rituals. The Bible portrays him as someone who could speak with God and receive prophecies, although his motivations and ultimate intentions are debated. Again I stress, though he could communicate with God, he was not Jewish.
Balak assumes that through the cursing or more precisely, the casting of a spell of some sort, on Israel, he will be able to defeat them. He hires Balaam to do so.
The story of Balak seems to be about teaching that those believed to be gods, or those that claim to have supernatural powers, are capable of producing results through offerings and incantations, are in fact not divine at all. In the ancient near east, the presence of divinity was believed to be within any number of people. The religious revolution of the Jewish tradition is to assert that there is only one God.
The defeats of Pharoah and of Balak are not merely the vanquishing of hostile rulers; they are the symbolic subjugation of outworn and outdated religious beliefs. It is a lesson we should take notice of in our world.
Balaam also embodies the universal dimension of Jewish religion. We assert that there is only one God over all creation, and one does not have to be within the covenant of the Jewish people in order to recognize or relate to this God. If all people are part of creation, then we have to act ethically and responsibly towards all fellow human beings.
I believe it is that point of view that one of Balaam’s prophecies has been incorporated into the synagogue liturgy, a prayer known as the “Ma Tovu”. “How goodly are your tents O Jacob, your dwelling places O Israel.” It is an understanding that all people have the ability and control to act responsibly toward one another.
There is an interesting Jewish concept found in the Talmud called areivut. The biblical reference in the Chumash is Judah’s willingness to sacrifice himself for his brother Benjamin.
Areivut goes deeper than just helping one another in times of danger. The Talmud derives the principle of Kol Yisrael Areivim Zeh Bazeh from a verse in Leviticus. It describes the Israelites stumbling, each man over his brother. The Talmud explains this doesn’t mean that we will literally trip over one another, but that each of us suffers the consequences of one another’s sins.
Areivut, mutual responsibility, does not mean just putting ourselves on the line to look out for one another, just as Judah did, but that whether we want it or not, we are all held accountable for one another’s actions.
I recently read a story about King Solomon. A man with two heads came before him. The man’s brothers insisted that he was one person and thus entitled to only one share of their father’s inheritance, while the man insisted, he was two separate people and thus entitled to two shares of the inheritance. Solomon instructed that hot water be poured on one of the two heads. When the other head screamed, Solomon declared that “since one head was scalded and the other head screamed, they are one person.”
If we see ourselves as fundamentally separate individuals, then the idea of being punished for one another’s sins seems cruel and arbitrary. However, if we understand that we are one people, indivisible, then it is only natural that each of us bears the moral and spiritual consequences of every other person’s actions – and I stress again, all people’s actions. Anything that happens to one of us affects all of us.
Amen, Rabbi Lenny

PRESIDENT: Joel Last
As Rabbi Lenny is away this week, I have been given the honor of leading this week’s service. As I was preparing for the Parsha this week, I noticed that this week’s Parsha Pinchas has to do with leadership. It consists of 4 different stories that seem totally unrelated to each other and out of sequence from the chronological order of Moses’s life story.
The first story involves God rewarding Pinchas (the grandson of Aaron) for killing an Israelite man engaged in depraved public behavior with a Canaanite woman which ended a plague in the Israelite camp. God then tells Moses that Pinchas and his descendants will have the legacy of being the high priests. The second story involves taking a census of the Israelites after their wandering in the desert and the legacy of the inheritance of the land of Israel. There is also another census described in the book of Exodus but it is less detailed, whereas this census gives a detailed listing of how each tribe will be given a legacy dividing up the land. The third story involves the daughters of Zelophehad asking Moses for an inheritance from their deceased father who had no sons – despite the law stating only sons may inherit land from their fathers. They were claiming that their father should have his legacy for his family to inherit land. God tells Moses to change the law and grant all women who have no brothers to be allowed to inherit land from their deceased father. The fourth story involves Moses going up to Mount Avarim to be told that he will die on the mountain and not pass into the land of Israel. Chronologically, this story is supposed to happen at the end of the Torah in the last chapter of Deuteronomy. Of note, is that the name of the mountain (Avarim) has the same root in Hebrew as the name for the transfer of legacy of the inheritance of land to the daughters of Zelphehad. Perhaps the reason this story is placed out of chronological sequence here is to depict a message of legacy. Instead of complaining about not receiving a legacy for the Israelites to take over after his death. Joshua is anointed by Moses to become the leader. Thus, the common theme in all 4 stories is on legacy. Pinchas’ legacy is that his descendants will become the high priests. The Israelite people are given the legacy of inheritance of the land of Israel. The daughters of Zelophehad are given a legacy to inherit land from their deceased father’s portion. But Moses is not given a legacy for his sons. Instead, he delivers the message of legacy to Joshua by placing his hands on his shoulder and infusing his legacy to Joshua, who is unrelated to him. Thus, Moses’ legacy is his leadership in his dedication to the Israelite people.
Thus, a message from this Parsha, is that a true leader does not focus on one’s legacy, but on guiding the people one is supposed to lead.

SISTERHOOD NOTES by Shoshana Halden, President
The Sisterhood General Membership met to go over plans for activities for the coming year. Some members took on project leader responsibilities and others joined a committee. We selected dates and places for the planned activities. If you missed our last meeting and are interested in what went on, just give me a call.
Our biggest income producer, after the CEI calendar, is our rummage sale. Set up for this year’s sale will be on August 17 beginning at 10:00 am. We will need everyone; from the men’s club to shlep the items donated and jewelry appraisers. The more people showing up, the shorter the job will be. Yes, we need the money that the sale will bring, but more than that the community needs the ability to obtain items at modest cost to maintain their pride and satisfy their needs.
On Wednesday July 9, I will be representing Sisterhood as President at the CEI Board meeting and get a feel that we are together in seeking the betterment of CEI and strengthening our stand in the community. B’shalom, Shoshana.

As you may know, Sisterhood purchased High Holiday Prayer Books for use in the Sanctuary for High Holy Day Services. The books are as a set consisting of “Mishkan Hanefesh” for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The cost of a set is $55.00. A few Large print versions are also available for $100.00 a set. Please contact the office to purchase a set with or without a dedication.
Thank you, Shoshana

ALFRED RATNER LIBRARY NEWS by Shirley Shpargel, Librarian
Books purchased with Library donations:
The Midwives’ Escape: From Egypt to Jerico by Maggie Anton (Fiction).
Songs for Brokenhearted: A Novel by Ayelet Tsabari (Fiction).
My Father’s Paradise-A Son’s Search for his Families Past by Ariel Sabar (Biography).
The Gates of Gaza: The Story of Betrayal, Survival, and Hope in Israel’s Borderlands by Amir Tibon (Israel).
Sasha Vasilyuk’s novel, Your Presence is Mandatory, scans seven decades between World War II and the current Russia-Ukraine War. Yefim Shulman is a Ukrainian Jewish WWII veteran who at the age of 18 in 1941 joined the Red Army as an artillerist at the border between the Soviet Union and Germany. In a surprise nighttime attach, Yefim is injured and later he and the few survivors are ambushed by the German’s and forced to work in a series of German labor camps. When he is captured, he takes the name of a non-Jewish solder to hide that he is Jewish. After four years in labor camps, he escapes and rejoins the Red Army and takes part in the invasion of Berlin.
After the war Yefim returns to Ukraine and marries Nina, a geologist. When Stalin’s Order No. 270, which labels anyone who was captured by the Germans is a traitor, Yefim is forced to lie for his survival and tells people he was never imprisoned. Yefim receives notice from the KGB that his “Presence is Mandatory.” He drafts a letter explaining his imprisonment, but the KGB allows Yefim to keep his secret only he must forfeit his pension from the military. After Yefim’s death in 2007, Nina finds a letter to the KGB in Yefim’s briefcase. Yefim’s coverup forces his family to reassess the man they thought they knew.
Nina remains in the Russian-occupied Donetsk where in 2015, she witnessed the town destroyed by separatists. The turbulent history between Ukraine and Russia continues today when in 2022 Russia ordered a full attack on Ukraine. The author, Sasha Vasilyuk, based the novel on the story of her grandfather, who after he died, his family found a letter which confessed where he served in WWII, how he was captured, the names of the German camps where he was a forced laborer, his escape attempts, and his return home. Your Presence is Mandatory can be checked out at the Alfred Ratner Library.
There is still time for summer reading, stop in the Alfred Ratner library and check out the new books on display.

SISTERHOOD PULPIT FLOWERS
How praise worthy are the father and mother that raised this child.
One is duty bound to honor one’s parents, even after their death. Both sons and daughters fulfill this duty by keeping their yahrzeit, by contributing to charity in honor of the deceased, and most importantly by living a life that brings them credit. (Rabbi Hayim H. Donin)
We hope you will take this opportunity to order pulpit flowers for the coming year for loved ones and friends. Since we update our records annually, we need a new form from you each year if you want to order pulpit flowers.
To order pulpit flowers for a yahrzeit (anniversary of death), Rosh Hashana and / or Yom Kippur use the form found in this month’s bulletin.
Forms must be received by August 8, 2025, to be included in High-Holiday Services. If you have any questions, please call Virginia Lieberman (724) 668-2442 or email at virginiagwl@gmail.com.

Once again, we are in the process of preparing the Memorial Booklet for the Yizkor service on Yom Kippur, October 2, 2025. This tradition has been well received by our membership and in this time of virtual services, we would still like it to continue as an Online Memorial to your loved one/s.
Only the names of those deceased during the past year (5785: 2024-2025) will be read from the pulpit. If you wish to have the names of deceased relatives included in the Memorial Booklet on our website, please list them on the form below or mark “same as last year” and only write in names to be added. Please indicate if any of the names appear on the Memorial Plaques. This will help us publish an accurate record in the Virtual Memorial Booklet online.
At this time of the year, it is appropriate to make contributions in memory of our loved ones. If you wish to honor your loved ones in this way, kindly indicate the contribution in the Memorial Booklet form, which can be found in this month’s bulletin, and make checks payable to Congregation Emanu-El Israel or to CEI and mail to CEI, 222 N.
